Episode#144

-The next day in Salem arrives. Marlena stands on the balcony of her penthouse, as she feels guilty for not going back to the hospital, but she says to herself she has no idea how to tell the Hortons the news. She hears behind her “Tell the Hortons what news, Doc?” and she turns around to see Faux Roman behind her!

-John, Kim, Kayla, and Bo stay at the hospital overnight. Max suddenly runs into the waiting room and Bo asks Max where he has been and they have been waiting him for hours and hours. He apologizes and says he has been trying to find a friend, and Bo then says “Well why you were gallivanting around our mother fell into a coma.” Max looks on in shock, and begins to feel guilty. Kim says now is not the time, and they are all here now. Kim goes over to John, and says she is proud of him. She thanks him for being there, and then John slowly says he will always be there….for his family. Kim then says “Thank you so much……Roman.”

-Lexie finally returns to Stefano’s hideout, and Megan asks her where she’s been. Lexie says she has been taking care of some things, and Megan hisses she has nothing to take care of. She tells Lexie she is lucky she did not report her to their father. Lexie says to Megan that believe it or not she does have things to take care off, and then she walks off without another word.

-Marlena begins to cry as she falls into Faux Roman’s arms, and he asks her what is wrong and what’s happened. She slowly gets up and says last night, Maggie asked her to check on Alice, so she went to the Horton House….and suddenly Marlena stops as tears pour out of her eyes, and then says she found Alice was dead! Faux Roman looks at Marlena in shock, and asks how. She says she had no idea except when Maggie talked to her before the Ball she was sick. Faux Roman says this is terrible, and Marlena says she doesn’t know how she can tell the Hortons this.

-John says he called her Roman, and Kim says she thinks it’s time. She says he can call himself what he wants, but as of now, he is Roman to her. And he always will be. John once again does not say a word, and Kim simply smiles as she goes back to Caroline’s bedside…..

-Lexie gets to her room inside Stefano’s hideout, and locks the door. She says quietly to herself as long as Megan and Stefano aren’t suspicious, then everything is going as it should. She then says her father’s downfall is imminent. And this time she will make sure it is his final downfall.

-Faux Roman says she has to, and Marlena says she definitely knows. He tells her he will go down to the hospital with her, and she thanks him. She sobs as she gets ready to leave, and once they leave, she prepares for one of the hardest things in her life…..

-Rex thinks back to when he met Willow, and their months together as a couple. He says she was special to him, almost as special as Mimi was. He sighs, having lost another woman . He hears a voice say “The relationship would never have worked anyway. She hated you right before she left.” and he looks beside him to see Cassie in a wheelchair. He asks what she’s doing here, and she says she surprisingly was alright and able to be released from the hospital again. Luckily she wasn’t hit too much, and then Rex finally gets up the courage to asks her what her problem is with any woman he gets into a relationship with.

-Bo walks over to John and says “John, I-” but he interrupts with a smile on his face and says “No. Call me Roman. Roman Brady.” Bo stands stunned for a moment, while Kim says “Well then may I officially welcome you to the family, Roman.” John/Roman smiles at his family, finally truly accepting his identity…
